I've been using the black Apple leather case on my graphite 12 PM lately. Still waiting for Caudabe to release the Synthesis for the 12 PM.

3 did, yes!
4 isn’t as tight, so I assume not (or rather I pray it doesn’t)
Thanks man! Very much appreciated. If you ever get a chance to clean your phone or swap out cases can you take a pic of the back of the phone and post in your L4.0 thread? I’m curious about the new internal lining. Some youtubers have been concerned about the removal of the microfiber lining. Thanks again.

I'm disappointed in the cases I've tried so far. Apple leather was too loose. Blackbrook was just ugly and poor quality. Phone rebel is ok, I'm going to keep that one, but wish the sides were tighter.

Can anybody directly compare the solid suit with the Dbrand Grip? From videos I've watched it seems like the dbrand also has a loose fit around the volume buttons?

Honestly, if Solid Suit would just make the sides more textured and make the speaker cuts fit the phone it would be perfect. Why, rhino shield, why???

Unfortunately, most cases have some give. Even Mous. The tightest one is the catalyst influence. It literally has no give whatsoever.

I haven't looked at the influence, thanks for the suggestion. Anybody have any discount codes for catalyst?

2 weeks and I am still in my brand grip. Absolutely love the case, which, for those that know me here, is any amazing feat.

Just ordered a few extra skins too

Share a photo?

I ordered a leather case from Parkfield Supplies on 3/23 and am still waiting for it to ship.

Interesting, those Parkfield cases look like apple's case. Look forward to hearing what you think about it. It makes me nervous when a case company doesn't show all the sides/top/bottom of the case though, I wonder what the speaker cutouts look like on those.

Does anybody have any experience with the Ridge wallet case?

AE14, do you also have the solid suit? Does the Grip case attract lint or debris?

It took me 3 tries to get a Dbrand Grip that didn't sag by either the power button or volume buttons, and even the 3rd replacement is a bit saggy between the top volume button and cutout for the silent switch.

And if Rhinoshield would just make the perimeter of the Solidsuit more grippy, it would be my perfect case. But as it stands, it's one of the slipperiest cases I've tried. Fit is perfect and protection is great, but it has to be because you're gonna drop it constantly.

For now, the Caudabe Sheath is still the best case I've tried.

Apple Black leather has been my best so far and all i have now, last return was Symmetry magsafe, it would never come off that thing. No where near as good as last years.
ESR clear magsafe is on a slow boat from China somewhere.

The original source says, in translation, that there are to be five colors, but only four have been shown. None had official descriptions, but the blue, purple, green, and orange colors are each more muted and darker than Apple's current Kumquat and California Poppy MagSafe cases.

Here you go!
I just noticed how much dust the L.4 Catches, this was not an issue on the L3 case. There is also a 'gap' of sorts here.

Thank you! Do you have a pic of the back of the actual phone after use? That is a lot of dust. Wow. My catalyst influence is dust free for now. Is dust getting trapped in the case around the volume and power relief cuts, bottom cutouts and lanyard hole? Does anyone else have this issue with certain cases?

I started out with the official 12 Pro Max Silicone Case (Black). Then I picked up a gen 2 Phone Rebel case once they were available. The magnets in the Phone Rebel case are noticeably stronger than Apple's official case. So far I'm very happy with the Phone Rebel case.

There's an article on the front page that shows a photo of what appears to be the lower half of all four colors in silicone. I can't image leather would look good in any of these colors with the purple as the only "maybe".

Idk. That lighter blue looks pretty good. Would make a decent leather color as well.
